George Edmund Baldred Baillie-Hamilton, 14th Earl of Haddington (born 27 December 1985), is a British peer and landowner.

The son of John Baillie-Hamilton, 13th Earl of Haddington, he was educated at Belhaven Hill School,[1] Eton College, and the University of Glasgow, where he gained a degree in arts and media informatics. After that, he migrated to London and worked as a freelance writer, including for Mary Killen, the agony aunt at The Spectator and a star of Gogglebox with her husband Giles Wood.[2]

When his father died, in 2016, he inherited his peerages and the Mellerstain House estate and decided to go home to Scotland to take charge of the historic house.[2]

Haddington married Constanza Dessain, daughter of Simon James Francis Dessain, of Inverkeilor, Arbroath in 2021.[1]

In November 2023, he was fined £500 and disqualified from driving for a year after a drink driving incident on the A6105 in April 2023.[3]
